Precisely what Paul said and I did note he had to bite his tongue when he ordered it for me originally.

That would certainly have been a good head choice NDS. Unfortunately and very personal I know, but I've loved all my previous Sako's and have wanted the 90 ever since the 85 Synthetic Black was launched. The rifle otherwise is everything I'd hoped for, I'm just very surprised and disappointed...

My 90 is my fourth Sako and first £3k rifle and I'm not impressed after exactly the issue you describe. Just five stalks after initial zero and load development and I went back to Corinium for my monthly range slot to check zero and practice, to find the rifle was shooting an inch low and left...

Marlin 1894 in .38/.357 for annual county Gallery competition and bit of paper punching fun at club evenings.

Good timing bobby, I have a V1 5-20 LRF, boxed barely used with battery and charger. It was originally destined for my FAC Air but I've decided to stick with a regular optic instead. I'll dig out the box, photograph and post here and drop you a PM.

Air rifles are incredibly pellet/slug fussy. I shot bench rest for a while and there was no rhyme nor reason to which particular flavour any given barrel liked. Some of the more popular pellets come in up to five or more different head sizes (e.g. in .177 = 4.49, 4.50, 4.51, 4.52, 4.53) and you...

No Emilio, on the contrary, I agree with you entirely and apologies, the very English wording wouldn't translate. You had the correct judgment, the utter idiocy on display on this thread is best just risen above.

Sadly, no amount of education or discussion will ever deprive a village of their idiot.

No sorry @jb1 Paul is kind enough to load for me and so I don't even wish to know the powder and grains he uses for precisely this reason; if I don't know I can't share. The initial single ragged hole group was delivered with the 90 paired with a Vector Continental 3-18x50, which I have been...

I have a Sako 90 in 30-06 which Paul Hill of Corinium is loading for me with Virtus Merlin 150gr Copper. First three shots after zeroing with a regular range round delivered a single ragged hole at 100m. Five culls so far; two shoulder shot Muntjac, two high neck shot Fallow and a regular boiler...

If DSC1/DSC2/BASC/BDS/DMQ are so useless and worthless and simply money making scams, perhaps the usual suspects with far too much to say would like to share how better to help new stalkers assume the basic knowledge needed to safely and competently enter the interest/profession? Even better...

Thanks Buchan (and weblyish), feeling a bit of a charlie, but in 30-culls I haven't encountered anything like and am just relieved all is 'normal' and am enormously grateful for the learning :tiphat:

Thanks gents!
